Stromanthe thalia 'Triostar' Houseplant Care - 42 of 365

- It might feel like Christmas because this prayer plant-known as Stromanthe thalia 'Triostar' has variations of red, white, green and pink. The regular Stromanthe thalia just has dark green tops and reddish undersides, so is a little less "dressy". But 'Triostar' has become a popular houseplant on its own, so it's worth covering in #42 of "365 Days of Plants".
Additionally, in Ep 31. here: • Prayer Plant (Marantac... , I have an extensive care video on Prayer Plants, which I encourage you to watch. Otherwise, this particular video will give you more information on how I've been growing and maintaining this one.
You can check out more of these videos here and on my IGTV @homesteadbrooklyn.

Wow, I'm surprised at how many problems people are having with these in the comments. I've had mine for 6 years. The only problem I've had was relocation shock when I first got it.
Here's how I take care of it: East facing window, water when it looks like it's dieing, no extra humidity, liquid fertilizer when I happen to think of it, keep it root bound, wipe off leaves like once a year, it's friends are 3 potted Birds of Paradise (they've become besties), and I ignore her the rest of the time. Lol. I feel like I neglect it compared to how others care for them.
I find most house plants don't like being moved around and enjoy having other plant friends to chat with. They also tend to like being cozy in their pot with lots of roots. Don't be in a rush to repot or pot up. Hope my methods help some one.
"Friends to chat with" lol I like that
Mine was living but not thriving, so what I did is I started watering her only with bottled water, and she's responding amazingly! Got one new leaf that's practically all white, I'm in love, and there's already two more I see coming out soon. I'm so glad she liked the change :3
Follow up on this, my baby has 5 new leaves! All amazing-looking, and spring is here, so I know she's living her best life.
Ella Preuss omg! Love the updates. Just got one myself, I’m nervous!
I've seen pictures of these growing in bushes outside in warmer countries, in pretty much full sun! Mine do great right in front of my north facing window, standing on a plate with water and pebbles for constant humidity. As long as you give them that humidity (60% or more) they won't get brown edges, as far as i know. Absolutely love them.
I’ve had mine for two years and it’s tripled in size. 3’ from a north facing window sitting over an air vent. I let it dry out thoroughly between waterings. It grows like crazy, and I’ve had to repot it twice already. Minimal brown tips, and it seems to prefer lower humidity that some of my other plants (like my calatheas).
I love my little diva! My apartment has over 65% humidity, only use distilled water but she stills throws a fit but she is still alive! I have no problems with Calatheas or other members of the Marantacae family but this Stromanthe is challenging!
After watching a variety of folks talk about plants, I'm finding a pattern about what is considered a high maintenance plant - needs a lot of humidity. I've only been a plant parent since Oct. 2019 and so far I am succeeding in keeping humidity at around 60% at home during fall and winter, so I'm very happy that my prayer plants are happy. I didn't even know some of them flowered! My maranta lime green sprouted tiny purple flowers.
I have this gorgeous plant, and so far she is doing good, she is in a west facing window, I mist her once a day and keep her soil not too dry, but not soggy. She lost a leaf or two when I first got her, but now she is just happy where she is. Thanks Summer, loving this series.
I've wanted this plant for so long! But was super intimidated as a new plant parent.
Now that I've kept my Red Maranta and Calathea Medallion happy, I decided to grab a Triostar yesterday 🥰
She's so lovely!! Prayer plants are divas but I love them 🤗❤️🤣
Hope it's still doing well. I recently got one too also wanted it for ages.
@@mish3595 oh, it's unwell 🙃 most of it died and I chopped it to a stump and now it's a tiny pot of dirt. Hoping it can grow back 🤞🏽
If I could only own one plant, it would be this one. Just looking at it renews my spirit. 😁😁😍😍😍
Why cant you own one...I started with one ans finally hit 100
Thank you for the education on this plant. Nick Pileggi also said this plant was a challenge, and I am glad to learn from you, why!
Ive had some wierd experiences with this plant, i had it in bright indirect light it completely reverted and basically started dying out, i then moved houses and put it in partial shade north facing dry spot and the plant started poppijg new extremely variegated growth, i water it like once a month or once every 2 weeks and its just impossible to kill
That video's timing couldn't be better - i just received my Stromanthe Triostar in the mail!! :D
How is it doing now? 😍
"I know what you're thinking, it looks like Christmas"
I see what you're saying, but I definitely would not have made that connection on my own. I bought two of these a couple of months ago and they've been doing well so far. I was keeping them in a 3 season porch, but it was struggling in the cold nights we've been getting (40F outside, probably around 55F inside the porch). So I just brought them inside. They seem to be happier now.
Wow! This is an absolute beauty 😍 Thanks for sharing with us ❤️
Thank you. Loved them for years but because its fussy I was scared to purchase one. I set up a green house in my apartment a few months ago so I purchased one 2 weeks ago. It did not arrive in a good condition but i can tell that the nursery sent me a defective plant. I decided to keep it and hope with all the love I’m giving it will feel better and be happy.
This should be called the "ERK" plant because that's the sound the shopping cart makes when people see this plant in the garden store. It's the I have to have that plant. I bought two in early spring and just love them. I have a gentle LED non-grow light overhead which the plant likes (my ferns like it too) and I adore the way the purple glows on the leaves. This is a favourite.
I also have S. "Triostar". I was so excited when I was buying it that I spent 0 seconds inspecting it. Unfortunately, my stromanthe already had new growth that was completely dry - all the closed leaves were already wilted. It is in high humidity situation now - around 70-80% and I am hoping for a recovery, but it definitely is finicky, even with all the right conditions. I have found "Magic Star" somewhat easier, but again, it might be due to the fact that the "Magic Star" I purchased was in excellent shape.
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed listening to your talk about this stunning and beautiful plant and I am very very pleased that your pronuncing correctly it’s name. Very important to me.
Yehhh I love this plant too...n yes u could not get ur eyes away from this...dont wanna buy this coz heard so many times that its tough to handle but today I asked my frnd n she has it in her garden...so till tomorrow this beauty will b in my house.
I have well water and it's a little on the hard side, so I might hold off on this one. It is a beautiful plant. These videos are so helpful with your detailed information. Thank you so much!
Well water will really do a number on this plant. If buying bottled distilled water is not a practical option for you I think you not getting one would make human & plant a whole lot happier.
I have very hard water, and my triostar is thriving. Didn't know it liked soft water till i saw the video
Yes very challenging. When I gave more water it droops and then I repot and add humidity and it was happy only for 1 day 😆 and then I decided to add a fan and let it sunbath for about half an hour. I came back seeing the leaves turning brown🤦♂️.
I love my Triostar so much, but she is a D I V A! DIVA! Currently, she is loving my north facing covered porch and soaking up all those lovely southern humidity. Fingers crossed for minimal browning this season!
I have mine sitting next to my fish tank and central in my living room that is full of windows on all sides and it’s growing like crazy I’m also on a well.
Yeah my cats love to chew on this plant too. All of the ends have been chewed off 😩😂. One of my fave plants!
Truth 100%. Stromanthe are like celery sticks for cats! 😸
Good to know. I’ll keep mine where it’s at on the mantle. At least they’re not toxic to cats 🤷🏻♀️😆
i Absolutely love the background Color of her wall 😍
Such a pretty plant 💕🌿🥰
Mine has tripled in size in a west window. She's one of my fav's! She gets well softened water,I dont find it very picky.She did get spider mites once from a plant near it.But sprayed it with insecticide and all good since.
Mine has quadrupled in size since getting it too!!!!! Also not had a problem with it (fingers crossed don't want to jinx it now as its s fave)
I think a video featuring your Chicken would be good to see.

Omg yessss I've been waiting for this
I got a huge one at the weekend for just £2 (I'm thrifty) so this was well timed 😊
holy smokes! thats a bargain! Was it in good healthy condition?
@@Uiladoru she's in beautiful condition. I had a lot of vouchers from a points card so this (£25) and a £6 orchid cost me £2.45 😊
@@pippadeedoodaah837 oooh ! thats great saving practice. Sounds cool!
love it .. mine likes midelight and it grows crazy i toke babys from it and they grow beutifully i spray them and give them water weekly and they are doing just fine
Good tip about the distilled water!
In terms of pests, I will say that mine has been the victim of spider mites twice, but I've been able to rescue it both times and it has rebounded nicely.
Hello! I watch very single one of your videos! thank you for that great content! I would love if you can do an extensive chicken care video and how you manage the feces and odours. I have 2 indoor domestic chickens myself (silkies) and I have a very hard time to manage... I have a lot a lot of dust and odours. Your place looks very clean... I NEED to know how you do it. Love xx
I have one and it is stunning!!!
thank you Summer for this video on this beautiful plant.
Stromanthe will give you that splash of color while totally not being drama queens like calathea. I've found three things you need for stromanthe success: 1) A humidity mat or nice sized pebble tray. 2) Not a heavy feeder! A spoonful of worm castings monthly during active growth & a supplement of chelated iron with micronutrients diluted at one quarter strength bi-monthly during the growing season is all you really need. 3) Nearing the end of the growing season take her to the sink or bathtub and give it a good through watering and flush out those roots & soil of any residual salts . However, I don't recommend using tap water for this step!
Do you have any idea why the new leaves would have a yellowish tinge?
thanks for the tips on this beautiful plant
@@afeefaabdulrahman8450 could be for many reasons. It's going to take some detective work on your part because it's hard to tell without seeing the specific plant. Here are some likely causes: Overwatering, underwatering, minerals chemicals and salts in your water, excessive fertilizer & nitrogen in your soil, misting with water collecting on the leaves, lack of humidity, placing it an area prone to drafts and direct light. Hope this helps and good luck!
do you think liquid fertilizer encourages more green leaves? Mine is growing so well, and has been in direct and indirect west sun, and the shoots barely have variegation.
Thanks for the reply and for those tips too!
Thanks for the info. I'm currently trying to keep this plant alive. Leaves have been yellowing/browning but it's hard to find info on this specific plant. Fingers crossed I don't kill my first Triostar.
Had mine for two months and I had to cut some back due to yellowing and browning. I fluffed the soil added coffee grounds and put it outside it seems to be doing better with like 1 new shoot coming. Omg this plant IS finicky.
Beautiful plants❤❤❤love them!!!. Honestly, after killing three of them, I gave up. I love them so much, but in somebody else's home.
they are easy to grow if they are kept on the cool side and in bright light and misted, i had lost a couple then i found out what i was doing wrong, never use tap water on them they hate it, they also do NOT like their leaves touched, and they love to be misted
Very easy plant
I was super lucky and found a small one for 50 pence. It grown so much since I purchased it, sprouting new leaves throughout the winter. I must be really lucky because it’s thriving, I live in a hard water area, put it in a south facing window quite a lot of the time and I’ve never fertilised it...it’s really dry where I live as well. I have a small fish tank in the room it’s in so I’m thinking that must have been acting as a humidifier!
I had an opportunity to pick up a Magicstar, so I took a pass on this one. Now however, I am ready to go out and pick up the Triostar, and fortunately they have plenty at my favorite garden center ;)
Suzanne here, they do tend to dry out, that is true, i have 2 large ones in one pot and i water it well about every week, they do not like to be in shade, at all, they like light, and they like to be misted, and no tap water, they like their water sitting out a few days before they are watered, the browning of the leaves is always from, dry air, just mist them daily,
I thought it was “Stromanthe Sanguinea Triostar”? When did the “Thalia” come into play? But I absolutely love this plant! Beautiful! But moody. Like me! Lmao!
Avi Rose I thought the same
I just got one, couldn't resist its charm lol I'm doing my research and it seems the sanguinea and thalia "triostar" are 2 different varieties. The triostar having the white and pink markings and the sanguinea having plain green tops with the deep red underside
From what I found thalia is the up-to-date scientific name, but it's already been sold as sanguinea for so many years the sellers didn't want to create confusion and keep using the outdated name. This was my first time seeing it called thalia as well by the way
I just got it today
So I’ve had this plant about 2 months now and I’ve been watering it one a week. It leafs we get really tired when it needs water almost like a peace lily. I’ve been doing this to gage when to water it.
Very informative video, stay connected friend
I love this format!
This is my most favorite. She was doing amazing till it got a bug😣 bugs are gone now but she has no leaves.
My qu2is will it come back?
Mine always has brown tips and looks horrible. I just finished cutting the brown edges off and moved it away from the heat vent. I'm hoping it will growing. I've had it for about seven months.
Yes! Just picked one up Yesterday!!
How about filtered water??? Is there a leaf position which shows a problem with the plant? Will you transfer some plants to a better light position at the Flock?
love mine! its definitely happy as its grown new plant babies but recently the whites have been coming out yellow in the new leaves. Is this just fertiliser build up or something else?
So gorgeous, the triostar is one of my faves too! I got one about two months ago, and the last two leaves grew out mostly green - does that mean it needs more light? I live in a building and have a south facing unit, but I don't get direct sun inside because of the balcony overhangs. I'm afraid it will burn if I put it outside on the balcony...
I stumbled of The plant At The Shop when i Was visiting My family. It Was a big plant And i wouldn't be able To bring It on The plane so i noticed The plant Was growing something like orchids keikies from one leaf and i asked To The lady At the shop if She may give me the cutting if i would have bought another plant. I proposed her i would have bought a cattleya that was already out of Bloom and had also a broken Pot for having fallen several times. She was really kind and allowed me To have The catt with The stromanthe cutting. Now i have The cutting in a plastic Bag. I would love To have suxcces with It. Can You Tell me The Best Way To let It Take and make Roots? I have understood The plant loves humidity But doesn't love soggy dirt. May i put The cutting in moist aerated soil and put a plastic cover untill It makes some roots? I have around 77% humidity in My room. .. May this be enought for her Just To plant It without plastic cover?
Very beautiful! - can you do a video on how to compost old potting soil??? I would love to do that- it would help save some cash on the soil for sure!
Dm her on instagram.
What is the optimal humidity for this plant and in what humidity do you keep it?
I have two of these plants! I was wondering if they are slow growers? The leaves on mine aren’t nearly as long as all the videos if seen.
mine have brown tips all the time, they grow under lights haha guess i need to move that haha
I just got one of these love the colors on it ..
i love your videos, especially that fertilizer info one. thanks for helping us. i want to ask one question regarding your thumb nail, did it get injured while gardening?
beautiful. & the plant is beautiful too.🌟
I keep hearing about bugs were do they come from and what causes them
I grow these outside here in Florida.
What part of FL, wanting to move mine outside and near Tampa.
@@c1nicolei I'm in Jax, Fl
Distilled water has helped me
Hi Summer, I have a question not related to this video but I'm desperate not to loose this plant. I have searched on line but I couldn't find an answer. I have pilea glaucophylla aquamarine and is losing its leaves and stems. The leaves are getting brown and just fall. I had in west window exposed to some direct sun, then moved to about 6 feet away from west window. Then moved to the shelf exposed to medium to lower medium light. My humid is 50 and over at times because I cook a lot. I don't know what to do anymore. Soil is moist at all times with good drainage . What light does this plant do best? And should I keep it moist and let it to dry little in between waterings? I love this plant and I really want this to live. Please help!!!😢
Would love of you get some bright light in background 🙈 . Love Triostar
Hi Summer, I remember seeing a variation of this stromanthe triostar in one of your videos, it is stromanthe charlie with creamy white and green variegation. Can you share some tips of how you care for the stromanthe charlie?
i live in a really hot area of Mexico, first i put mine next to a pothus near a window, lots of indirect light but i think my triostar didnt like that much light because it started to get brown on the ends so i moved it next to a monstera with a little less light and it seemed to be doing great until my extremely playful dog threw the pot TWICE in a row of two days and now the triostar seems a little sad and it's not praying a lot as it used to do... what would you recommend?
Urgh I gave mine tap water. Kept it in great humidity, but didn’t always have distilled water. I have it in a north facing window( laundry room / bathroom/high humidity) any other ideas? She isn’t dead, but browning
I have this plant. Till now no issue.
Pretty.
I have this plant but many of the leafs are turning brown and dying. What should I do? does it need more light?
i just bought one today..yayy
I have a stromanthe triostar I got it at a big box store and it came with some crispy leaves. I have been rehabilitating it with vigilant watering using filtered water and have a small humidifier going right by it. It’s by a north-facing window. The only other option is a south-facing window. But now the new leaves that are coming in are completely white/cream. How do I get the variegation back?
I’m shocked because I got one of these with no label. Had no idea what it was and I’ve been caring for it completely wrong. Not using distilled water, not creating a humid space etc.
Phaness _ how is it doing?
Stacey British my indoor one is doing good. It did have a couple of crispy tips on the leaves but it’s still growing.
Can we place it inside ,how much they need wormth Iam asking as I'm from India good day!
I have 3 triostar because of you ahahah
Is it possible to remove the brown tips from suffering leaves? Or should I prune the entire leaf off?
I have a uromastyx (eats mainly lettuce) when she sees my triostar she freaks out and just wants to taste the pink leaf
I only get Eastern Sunlight, is this plant okay for eastern exposure or should I just keep it off from direct eastern sun exposure?
Mine is doing just fine close to the Eastern facing window :)
Gorenka Bojadzija yay!! Thank you! Yeah mine is fussy for some reason, but I just checked it again and it has 3 new shoots
Hi why does the tips get brown edges? Is there any way to prevent that? Thank you
Is there a difference between this one and the Calathea Triostar? Cause I have one that was labeled as that but I’m not sure if they’re the same or not 🙈
technically there is no such thing as a calathea triostar. It's a very common mislabeling because the plants are closely related, but it's a stromanthe!
Your such a big help😍
I haven't had any trouble with this plant TBH, but I find my new shoots are all coming in so green with little variegation. I suspect I'm over-fertilizing (??) do liquid fertilizers encourage more green leaves on variegated plants? It's been right in the window facing west. I've tried direct and indirect sun, but nothing has changed.
Your chickens live inside the house?
Summer need your advise... I have followed all the rules that this lil princess needs... However still I see dry leaves... Why 🥺☹️
What does "thalia" mean? :)
Also, your videos are amazing, I cant bellieve there are so little likes
Do you water daily
SOIL TIPS please :)
If I can find one to purchase I’d love to try growing this one.
Hi. Do you have any tips to stop browning?
My question is how do you propagate rose clippings?
What’s a good fertilizer?
Help! Right now I’m getting almost like gaps in the purple underside on my new growth (the backs are not fully purple, there are almost like lines of green). What does this mean?
Is this the same as the tricolor ginger plant?
mine seems to do better when I forget about it and even let it dry up a little. I`m always shocked to see the amount of new leaves it`s producing when the soil gets a little dryer.
What water do u feed it 🤔
Wonderful info! Thank you! I have a Stromanthe Sanguinea, it looks almost the same. Maybe the Thalia has a bit more pink on the pattern. i dont know, is there any other difference? *Expects something like: sanguinea is a bit more common and easier to care for* xD....
They are synonyms for the same plant :)
@@MrMyKidd AAhh! xD.. ok. Im happy with that too. Thank you!
Hi Addy, my Stromanthe had 2 new leaf rolls but didn't successfully open ended up drying (dried leaf roll). Any idea on what might have caused this?
Currently it's located about 5 ft away from a North facing window and water it when the top 1 to 2 inch soil is dry with tap water that I have let sit out over night.
France Marie Orden mine did this too, how is yours doing now?
